I have had some trouble finding stuff that is free, it often directs me to teachers pay teachers, which is also a great site! They have some free stuff and some stuff you have to pay for. It usually isn't too expensive but they have some pretty great resources and lessons.

This is a great resource for teachers who want to have their students doing hands-on activities by exploring science concepts nearby, like in their school playground. Students should be engaging in inquiry and investigating the natural world, and this is a great way for them to do it!
